Does anyone know what the keyboard shortcut to scroll a method's overloads that appears in the tooltip is? I presently have to resort to using the mouse to click the ^ and v labels in the tooltip, which isn't particularly effective.
Thanks!
A little late but maybe somebody else needs it too:
Place the cursor after the first bracket
Press Ctrl + Shift + Space
What's the command to bring up the tooltip? I know the shortcut in Eclipse (Ctrl + Space) but that's Eclipse...
In VS the tooltip shows when you type the first bracket but if I would like to see the different method overloads for a method that's been implemented already, how would I do that?
Press Ctrl + Shift + Space to see the list of overloads and arguments.
See the Visual C# 2008 Keybinding Reference Poster for more keyboard shortcuts.
The arrow keys work for me...
Sometimes I have to hit escape to get rid of the intellisence popup before using the arrow keys to scroll through the overload list.

There's got to be an easier way than this:
place the cursor just after the first bracket
erase it
re-type it (tada!)
navigate the methods using up and down arrows
when you're done, press ctrl+z to undo changes.
1. To Show Overloading Suggestions
Place the cursor after the first bracket and press CTRL + SHIFT + SPACE to bring it back.
Also, Erasing the opening bracket and writing it back can do the trick too.
2. To Scroll through Overloading Suggestions/Options
if your IntelliSense options are showing then press ESC which will hide it. Now, it's time to use the Up/Down arrow keys to see the charm.
if your IntelliSense is disabled, the Up/Down arrow keys will work directly.
Ctrl + Shift + Space in the "()" method brackets brings up the method overload context menu. The UP and DOWN arrows are used to navigate through.
The Visual Studio Keybindings definition is : Displays the name, number, and
type of parameters required for the specified method.
P.S. Jasper's link to Visual C# 2008 Keybinding Reference Poster is useful, check it out.
Arrow keys are the short cut keys i suppose as they work for me.
You can type a comma after the last parameter of the function. That will bring up the intelisense menu

I'd like to be able to cycle through the constructor/method signatures using a shortcut key, instead of having to click on the up and down arrows. Is this possible?
Use CTRL + SHIFT + SPACE to iterate through the list of overloads once your cursor is after the first parenthesis and the tooltip is shown (as per your screenshot).
When typing an opening bracket on a C# method in Visual Studio the Intellisense appears for that method; if that method has overloads however, then the up and down arrow keys on the keyboard suddenly stop responding as normal and instead change the Intellisense displayed for the method.
This is annoying when you use the up and down arrow keys to navigate to the previous and next lines and then all-of-a-sudden they don't work! I found that shift and up/down, in this context then behaves as up/down did but that in-turn means that shift + up/down can no longer be used to select to the line above or below.
Is there a way to change the shortcut for the selecting displayed overload in Intellisense so it doesn't override the normal Up/Down and Shift + Up/Down keyboard behaviour?
I've included a screenshot to show the problem. Supposing the cursor is within the second Select which I have just opened the bracket of in order to see the Intellisense and I now decide I want to delete everything up to the open bracket of the first Select using Shift + Up then Delete. I can no longer do this as Intellisense has now hijacked the use of my Up/Down keys!
Intellisense Up/Down Key override problem
Visual Studio autocompletes brackets and tags and then shifts the cursor inside a bracket/tag upon creation.
I usually have to hit END then ENTER to continue past the tag, it would be really useful to 'jump' over the closing tag/bracket and possibly to the next line.
Is there a fundamental keyboard shortcut I'm missing here in order to accomplish this?
Can't find this in the MSDN VS Keyboard Shortcut manual either.
The keyboard shortcut you are looking for is Ctrl + Shift + Enter.
Pressing this will take you to the next line instead of inserting an enter, allowing you to move the cursor outside of the tag.
I wonder what is the keyboard shortcut for these two combo boxs and specially the right part which list all the members of current class and is very handy for navigating a large class.
I tried to figure it out myself but I do not know the exact names to search for it.
That whole thing is called "Navigation bar" (Window.MovetoNavigationBar) and can be activated by default by pressing Ctrl + F2. There doesn't seem to be a shortcut for the right side of the navigation bar, so pressing the short cut key always takes you to the combo box on the left side. You can use Tab to jump between the combo boxes.
The keyboard shortcut is Ctrl + F2 which takes you to the left-hand combo. If you hover over each one in turn (at least in VS2k8) it shows you a tooltip which identifies the two combos as "Types" and "Members", respectively.
Pressing Tab will take you to the right-hand combo and Ctrl + ↓ will expand the combo for you.
Alternative Resharper approach #1
"Go to file member" which is "Alt+\" .

Alternative Resharper approach #2
"Go to Next/Previous Member" with Alt+Down or Alt+Up
this one is very handy and my favorite :
Is there a keyboard shortcut to display tooltips provided by Visual Studio & Resharper when you hover over a bit of code? I'm already aware of Quick Documentation (Ctrl + Q) and Quick Watch (Ctrl + Alt + Q).
Do you mean Ctrl + K, Ctrl + I? This is the command Edit.Quickinfo.
(sorry, I am unable to add a comment with the PC I have now)
For the single variable, do you mean in debug mode ?
2nd Edit: I think VS names these tooltips 'datatips'. Unfortunately, there is no command to show them, so no possible shortcut.
You can do it by binding this command to a key:
EditorContextMenus.CodeWindow.PinToSource
Unfortunately it works with what you have selected, not with what you are hovering over. Not only do you have to do the extra click, but you need to select the entire variable name and all of its prefixes as well.
Old question but useful to know.
My shortcuts:
PinToSource set to alt-F1
ClearAllDataTips set to shift-alt-F1
CTRL+ALT+Q
It is equivalent to
SHIFT+F9
